What guests think

Across the reviews, Malibu Hotel is described as a simple, budget-friendly base with a very convenient central location, generally clean rooms, and largely friendly staff, though an unconventional self check in process and minimal on-site formality are noted.

Rooms are basic and vary in size; several guests slept well, while others noted small spaces, thin blinds that let in light, and traffic noise from window gaps. Recurring maintenance feedback mentions weak showers, inconsistent heating or hot water, and a few safety or upkeep issues. Suited to travellers who value practicality over amenities.

Convenient location for what we needed. Bedding and pillows were dirty, lack of sleep due to noise from passing traffic because of gap in window frame. Got told that the pub closes at 3am but when we went at 2am it was closed which was disappointing.

Look, Malibu hotel is what it is. No reception, you call a number and someone comes out for you to let you in. The rooms are clean - that’s important. The entire place is very clean. It’s basic. Simple, clean beds and that’s all you need. This isn’t about sitting drinking coffee of a morning looking out over a sea view. So for what it is, it’s fine.

Room 9 was a little modernised with good tv and tea / coffee facilities Carpet wasn’t clean, wall next to the bed on window side has some pink liquid on it. Window was huge with nothing but the main curtain to stop you being in a goldfish bowl. Toilet valve was not working so it was filling all of the time. Bed cover had a couple of questionable marks on it.

first of all, checking in was so informal, you might think it was just a style; then, soon, I realized there was no service; The heat was not on; no heat for two nights, even though they said they would turn it on; Then, no real hot water for shower; it was only warm, so, I did not even try to shower on my last night; Then, for some reason, one "new" towerl felt wet... Oh, and, they claimed on the booking that there was shower gel and shampoo but ONLY had handwash soup.

Positives were the location to winter gardens, comfort of the beds and easiness of checking in. Negative of smelling weed upon walking to our room and even stronger smell this morning when we was walking out.
